Friday Find: Literary Events Galore

Here's the promised follow-up to yesterday's post: a list of events taking place "offsite" during the AWP Conference. Please note:

1) This list took far more time to compile than I expected. Not sure how often I'll be able to update it.2) That said, please feel free to add information in "Comments."3) Things change. I make mistakes. Definitely double-check the details for any event you're interested in attending.4) Too late (considering how much time I'd already invested in this list), I learned that AWP is maintaining a(nother) list here. Theirs includes some events I haven't listed below because the announcements lacked clear links for additional information. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't know about them.5) Enjoy!
